The Chain of Title is simply a complete history of instruments used to transfer ownership in a piece of property from the U. S. Patent to the last record owner. The Chain of Title breaks when a document is missing. For example, a chain-of-title might look like this:

Grantor   Grantee George Washington Dolly Madison Dolly Madison Andrew Jackson Andrew Jackson Jefferson Davis Jefferson Davis Alvin York Alvin York Jay Taylor Jay Taylor Rudy Redmond Rudy Redmond Joy Shoun Joy Shoun Misty Boswell

If a title searcher can not locate the deed from Jefferson Davis to Alvin York, the chain of title is said to be broken. Should Tallent Title Group, Inc. title searchers discover a "broken chain", we have staff and or associates who can "remendy the break" in most cases.
